“Time is the longest distance between two places.”
— Tennessee Williams
From The Glass Menagerie
Have I been spending too much time in Diana Gabaldon’s world the last few months? This quote just doesn’t ring true to me. I look at my kids’ baby photos and think how those moments seem like yesterday, and I ponder that time is a circle of interwoven strands, connections between are the tiniest of gaps. You know how you can spend years between a visit with an old friend, yet in a moment of greeting, the time is erased?
No, I don’t believe Tennessee Williams got this one right at all.
